A BAG 0R sATcHEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 253,614, dated February 14, 1882.

Application filed December 27, 1881. (Model.)

- To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LUDWIG LOWENHERZ, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bags or Sntchels, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to supply a neat and light bag or 'Satchel for carry-ing luncheon and other small articles, the bag being mainly intended for slimmer use; and the invention consists of a bag or Satchel the body and end sections of which are made of straw braids sewed sidewise of each other to a suitable stiiening-backing.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 representsaperspective view of my improved bag or Satchel; and Fig. 2 is a detail vertical transverse section through the body of the satchel,

' sidewise ofeach other to a strengthening-backclose to cach other, and are made to run longitudinally over the entire body of the bag or satchel. The body may be applied either in the usual manner to the jaws ofa metal frame, or it may be made as shown in the drawings, in which case the cover is made in one piece with the body and closed by straps or other fastening devices. The end sections of the bag or Satchel are made in a similar manner and stitched to the body; or they maybe made of wood of suitable thickness, which is covered by braided straw 0r otherwise, in which case the body is nailed to the end sections. The latter construction is used when greater stiffness in thc bag or satchel is-desired.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Y A bag or Satchel the body of which is made of longitudinal straw braids sewed sidewise of each other to a strengthening-backing,,substantially as set forth.

In testimony that. I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
